    Need longer driveshaft with quick hitch?

    Number 9, I never seen the floating top link adapter for the Land Pride Quick Hitch before. Although it seems its made to work with the hook still attached to the Quick Hitch, it also appears that you might get just a little more downward movement on the floating top link if the hook was...

    Rattle Can and Line-X

    Thanks phildac. That figure sounds reasonable for all that you had coated. I was checking out Line-X on the net. Seems its all in the prep work. Good adhesion depends on good sanding, or in this case good sand blasting. Thanks very much for the info. Can't wait to see the completed project.

    Rattle Can and Line-X

    I am interested in the Line-X on the floors. It looks great. I have a new L3800 with just the orange paint on the floors. I was thinking of making floor mats, but was concerned with trapping moisture and encouraging rust to form. Line-X seems to be a better solution. Since the Kubota floors have...

    Hi Rob, I found this regarding what to look for when buying a used Ford 8N. Is this what you have in mind for your Used Kubotas Buyer's Guide, but written more specifically for Kubotas? If it is, I think it's a great idea. The Used Kubota Buyer's Guide could be organized in three parts 1)...

    has anyone put a hand rail on right side

    I put the L3240 right hand grip on my L3800 a few months ago. It fits like it was meant to be there, (no filing required), and matches the left hand grip perfectly. Its Kubota part number T1060-29450, Right Hand Grip; you will need two metric flange nuts too, Kubota part number 02771-50100. They...

    BX work light wire location?

    Don't know about a BX, but the work light connector that was on my L3800 harness was under the left fender, up around the rear light. In the photo the green connector is part of the work light kit I bought from Kubota. The work light connector on the tractor's harness was taped up, so it wasn't...

    need help with engine oil service classification

    Longleaf1, my L3800 manual (copyright 2010) says the same thing about not using CJ-4 oil. However, it looks like Kubota went 180 on this advice in 2012. See this link: http://www.kubota.com/service/LubricantMaintenance.aspx So now Kubota says CJ-4 oil is required in my motor, mine is an...

    New guy, well to the forum

    Welcome to the forum RD. You came to the right place. Lots of good fellas here ready with helpful advice. Very nice tractor. BTW, my first car was 6 year old 1967 289 Mustang fastback, painted dark blue. Sure wish I still had it.

    Old school hot rod shift knob on L3800

    Thanks for the comments. I really like the new knob. I put one just like it on my car's stick shift a few years ago.
